Unit A22 (Crazy Woman)

The Wyoming Game and Fish Commission names antelope hunt area 22 "Crazy Woman". It runs to about 862 square miles, entirely in Johnson County. WGFD reports these pronghorn as the Crazy Woman herd unit, which also takes in antelope hunt area 113. What WGFD publishes for the area is its boundary and its harvest; where the pronghorn stand inside it is our reading of the ground, and the two are kept apart below.

Where antelope hunt area 22 begins and ends

WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5 defines antelope hunt area 22 as beginning where Interstate Highway 90 crosses the Powder River; southerly up said river to Wyoming Highway 192; westerly along said highway to Interstate Highway 25; northerly along said highway to Interstate Highway 90; southeasterly along said highway to the Powder River. Read it as the legal edge of your license rather than as a hint about animals. The full text is in Section 5 of that chapter, with this year's season dates and license limitations in Section 2.

Not the same ground as the other hunt area 22s

WGFD numbers each species' hunt areas on its own grid, so the number 22 also belongs to its elk, deer, moose and bighorn sheep hunt areas 22. None of them shares a county with this one. A license is good only in the hunt area of its own species, so this page is about the antelope area, and the cards at the foot of the page link the others.

High ground inside the line: Reno Hill, Chris LeDoux Point and Reno Hill Anticline

Named high points inside antelope hunt area 22 include Reno Hill at 5,359 feet, Chris LeDoux Point at 4,900 feet, Reno Hill Anticline at 4,863 feet, Smith Cut Anticline at 4,849 feet and Reno Hill at 4,843 feet. Several carry a public-land flag in our data, which makes them the first places to try for a view. Pronghorn live in the open and trust their eyes, which is the whole problem.

Holding ground: Eder Draw, Sipple Hill and Ninemile Waterhole Draw

Below them sit Eder Draw at 4,876 feet, Sipple Hill at 4,871 feet, Ninemile Waterhole Draw at 4,869 feet, East Prong Hakert Draw at 4,853 feet and Antelope Draw at 4,787 feet. These are the folds worth watching, and the ones other hunters walk past.

Reading the land status

Named ground inside antelope hunt area 22 runs from 3,958 feet to 5,359 feet. Those are the heights of the features GNIS names, which bound the range from inside rather than measure it.

Wyoming Game and Fish's 2025 harvest survey estimates 637 hunters took 562 pronghorn in antelope hunt area 22 — 88.2% success, at about 5.5 days of hunting for every animal taken. Residents ran 75.1% and nonresidents 96.6% that year. Most hunters who held a license here filled it, so the real question is the draw, not the hunting. The plan: spot from a vehicle or a rise at distance, then plan a stalk that uses the only cover there is — the curve of the ground.

License types WGFD reported in antelope hunt area 22 for 2025

WGFD's 2025 survey breaks the pronghorn harvest in antelope hunt area 22 down by license type.

• Type 1 — 585 licenses in use, 82.9% success, 5.2 days per animal
• Type 6 — 118 licenses in use, 65.3% success, 7.3 days per animal

What each type allows — antlered, antlerless, archery-only, where it is valid — and this year's dates are set area by area in Section 2 of WGFD's 2026 Chapter 5, so read the line for the license you hold rather than assume it matches another area's.

Glassing from Reno Hill, Chris LeDoux Point and Reno Hill Anticline

Take a position on one of Reno Hill (5,359 ft), Chris LeDoux Point (4,900 ft), Reno Hill Anticline (4,863 ft) and Smith Cut Anticline (4,849 ft) and be on it before light. Work the morning with the air falling away from you, then accept that by mid-morning the wind has reversed and the plan has to change with it. Early-season bucks hold does and can be decoyed where the law allows it.

Reading the Crazy Woman herd, not just the area

WGFD's harvest report also tabulates pronghorn by herd unit, and antelope hunt area 22 shares the Crazy Woman herd unit with antelope hunt area 113. The animals cross those lines without noticing them, so a neighbouring area in the same herd is the fairest comparison for a season here.

The way in: Interstate Highway 90, Wyoming Highway 192 and Interstate Highway 25

We hold no road inventory for antelope hunt area 22, so the only routes we can name are the ones WGFD draws its boundary with: Interstate Highway 90, Wyoming Highway 192 and Interstate Highway 25. Those are its edges, not its interior — where you leave the pavement, not what the inside is like. Check each on a current motor-vehicle-use map before you count on it, because a road in a legal description isn't a promise of public access.

A first plan from the pins on this page

The map above marks Chris LeDoux Point, Smith Cut Anticline and Monument Hill as places to see from, and Sipple Hill, Frost Draw and House Draw as ground to work. Each pin is a named feature or a WGFD access property placed inside the area line, not a spot anyone has hunted. Walk between two of them rather than driving between four, and you will learn more in a day.

What a day here costs you

862 square miles is more country than a season will cover, so pick one drainage and learn it rather than driving the area. WGFD's figure of 5.5 days of hunting per animal is the one to budget against. Decide the night before where you will be at first light, and go there in the dark.
